Why would you do something like this?Firefox comes with ubuntu
firefox is a lot better anyway and i don't think microsoft or anyone makes IE for linux.

Perhaps he's a web developer and he needs to test his pages in IE to make sure they look the same across browsers.

I do web development by trade and I have this same problem. I've sort of solved it with the very useful IE NetRenderer add-on for Firefox.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/6455

It allows you to render web pages in various browsers, including a few versions of IE. Maybe this will fill the OP's need.

sounds like he needs to try that thats cool and way better then using ie7
some webpages don't display in firefox for me but no more then what it is i
can live with it i used windows once but got fed up with all the viruses that came with running it.

Well, IE Netrendered isn't perfect. You can't test anything like Javascript because it just gives you a snapshot of the page, but since I do Gov't work, we're not allowed to use JS or anything fancy, so for checking the visual aspects, it works fine.

Also, I've run into some pages that are so poorly coded, they don't render in FF, Opera, or Konqueror, but work fine in IE, and since they aren't pages I have any control over (i.e. my old bank's online account access system) it was IE or hop in the car and drive to the bank in person.

There are all sorts of reasons why the OP may want to have access to IE. Not everyone makes an effort to code their web pages properly.


@nitheesh86: That message sounds like IE thinks you don't have rights to use the browser. Maybe there's some sort of permissions problem. Have you tried running IE7 as root?

If you truly are a webdeveloper, you should consider using a virtual machine. IE's integration with Windows is so narrow that behaviour of the fine browser from Redmond changes along with Windows updates (which seem to have nothing @all related with IE).

Running something like VirtualBox (http://virtualbox.org || % sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose) with windows inside gives you a much better view on your website then IErenderer.

I have seen the funkiest of differences in behavior (of both CSS and JavaScript) on different browser/os combinations all including the words "IE" and "Windows"
